Problem with a moderator? First try to resolve the issue with the moderator. Second PM schooby who is the community relations manager (crm) for this site. The crm is responsible for member & moderator issues.

How to reach moderators? The best way to get a hold of us is to private message us. We can also be reached by email, moderatorname@slickdeals.net

To see the resolution to your mod alert click here. When in doubt, Mod Alert. There is nothing wrong with bringing a moderator’s attention to something you legitimately thought was inappropriate for you and the other member’s of the Slickdeals community.

*not being allowed to send PM’s (private messages)
*only being allowed to send one PM

*Sending website URLs and email addresses in a PM is also disallowed for new users.

Most of these limits are in place to deter would-be spammers but usually don’t last too long. So be patient, participate in the forums as you normally would, and soon you’ll have access to just about everything

From now on please post corrections here. Just copy and paste the old info and then below it, make the proposed corrections. This is much easier for me to update the initial post. Plus, the wiki links were taking you to the first post anyway, which seemed moot. Thank you. --McSlick

Is there a way to see all of the reps that I have gotten.....read all of the comments or just the last few? Are the rest lost forever?

Awesome job - lots of work - 2 reps to you!

Support and PRAY for our troops! (you can still hate the war)
-------------------------------------We all have so very much to be thankful for, no matter what is going on in our life.....as long as there is life and breath....there is HOPE. Sometimes we need to be reminded of that.....but we are so truly blessed.

Don't be scared to ask questions here. The disclaimer in the title "Please read before creating a thread or posting a question!" is there so people will read before they post an obvious question, like "how do I rep?". But if you tried reading this thread (I know it's long but it is sorted by keyword) and you don't see the question, then post it. In this instance, I would look under the keyword Reputation Points <--- (click to go to all the rep questions) and if it is not there, I would post the question. FYI it's not here, so great question!

Second and not as good-- If you want to see all your reps from a certain post, go to that post and click on your own rep box as seen in this screen shot[photobucket.com]. The downsides to this second option is that you don't know who repped you and when you were repped. Also, this method is post specific, so you have to know the post(s) you were repped in. Not exactly easy when you have been here for over a year.

One of the common questions here is "Why don't we have a section on ......(finance, stock market, movies, travel, CD & mortgage rates, etc.)." Could the reasoning behind adding/not adding new sections be addressed in this FAQ?

Excellent suggestion. I actually had this question answered in a rough draft I created, but wanted to get the admin's take on it and how exactly he wants it worded. But this is a great reminder and I will update it once I have a response. Thanks Xnarg!

This includes topics for general finance, stock market, CD & mortgage rates, etc. Currently there is not a demand for this type of forum, so for now the answer is no. If a high enough demand is met, the administrator would consider it. If you are interested, please let it be known here
